Title: Where can I get PCI risers for the graphics cards that don't ship from China?
Post by: dd2017 on June 15, 2017, 08:14:55 AM
I'm curious guys. I'm about to order hardware for my mining rig but now I've noticed that even though all components have delivery options within a week, the PCI-E risers for the graphics cards seem to ship from China and my estimated delivery is about 3-4 weeks away!

Do you know any place to get it sooner -- to be shipped to continental US?

Amazon has a ton of them. I haven't waiting any longer than 2-days for the ones I bought.

Just make SURE it is a US seller as there are Chinese sellers on there too.

why would you 6pin to sata like in that aliexpress offer?

molex is like 100+ watts up to 134w before really stressed..

sata you would be lucky to get away with 75watts.. i believe its like 54w safe limit.

6pin connector is safe to 200w.

be sure you discard those adapters they include, or repurpose wisely.

Molex is max 60W, but depending on rail it's connected to.
SATA is max 54W, but depending on rail it's connected to.
6 Pin is max 75W
8 Pin is max 150w

Best riser I've used yet.

Ships state side
6 Pin Molex, Great for a nice clean system
$8 / card, a little pricey but you get them fast and they are great.

well that's the internet for you.

do you really think your molex is only drawing 60w from RX series cards at the riser while mining?

have you heard any news about sata connectors burning up with RX series cards at the riser when used for power sources?

i used to run my GAW Black Widow script miners off two 6pin power connectors and so long as i didn't go crazy with overclocking it was safeish and stable drawing over 200W from each connector.
